We got our angel assembled, our little sheep started and our baby jesus in the manger. We put together the manger and waited overnight for the glue (ie, icing) to dry.
Overnight, the manger collapsed and crushed little baby Jesus. Mary and Joseph escaped unscathed. Even the angel survived.

I applaud your efforts. I cannot imagine attempting this with my daughter! HA! I am quite sure mine would have killed the whole family.
Gingerbread manger? I think I'd feel kind of weird eating the Baby Jesus!
HIlarious. Not to the Holy Family of course. In my early days as a homeschooling mom, we made a gingerbread house from scratch. By the end of the day, I wanted to claw my eyes out. Yes, it took the WHOLE day. Then overnight, the cat jumped up on the dining room table and basically destroyed it. Now we buy the $10 complete kit at Sams and throw them away before the guests arrive!
As I write, I have gingerbread snowflake dough cooling. They will be ugly, too, but far less painful.
And now a moment of silence for the poor baby and the bereft family.
Awe! Poor baby Jesus! Yes very glad it didn't turn out that way.
I just snorted out loud at the crushed baby Jesus. I am going to hell.
I'm with Candance - I'm going to hell. With tears streaming down my cheeks from laughing and snorting.
I'm very glad the real story didn't turn out that way.
Poor baby Jesus. He seems to take a lot of heat, doesn't he? I am a weirdo who literally chained down my baby Jesus from my outdoor set when someone was going around stealing them. I guess I'm kinda protective... Good on ya for tryin' though.
